One of our local gunshops  has a used Charles Daily.  The price seems to be right.  It is a Field EFS Model.  

I do not have alot of experience with the CD brand.  I have a Kimber and a Springfield now.  I know that the CD is not on the same level as them.  However, if purchased the CD will be just a house/truck gun.

Are they any good?  Anybody got one?  Any problems

What is a fair price for  a used one?
Thanks

i've have, and still have, one of the original fs models for a number of years, purchased new.  shot well, no feeding problems, and accurate; but last spend cartridge would usually be "yanked" back into the lips of the mag. , jamming the pistol.  
put in  top of the line ed brown extractor, fp. stop, and fp; wolfe fp and recoil springs and hasn't failed since.   i paid $350 for it nib and as i recall, about $35 for the above parts; oh, also put on some mccormick rosewood double diamond grips.  believe they were about $35.
i enjoy it when the boy's with the stainless colts come over and want to know what i'm shooting.

I saw a fellow with two NIB Daly's at the range one day. One was full size, the other a compact. Parts fell off of both while shooting them & they both repeatedly jammed.

I wouldn't go near one of them if my life depended on it.

For about $425 or so, you can own a NIB Springfield 1911, a ten times better 1911.

I could be talked into a cast frame but never a cast slide, sorry.
